1 SAPPHIRE WIND POWER COMPANY LIMITED 49.5MW WIND POWER PROJECT JHIMPIR, SINDH October 2013

2 Joint Venture with Sapphire Group in the Renewable Energy Space 2  Infrastructure Investment - core area for BAFL’s Merchant Bank  Entered into a Joint with Sapphire Group to invest in Renewable Energy - through Sapphire Wind Power Company  Strategic partnership to create leading renewables company across segments, including wind and solar  First project: development of a 50MW Wind Power Plant in Jhimpir, Sindh  Actively considering further investments opportunities through:  Future capacity expansion  New development opportunities Sapphire Group Leading business group across a range of sectors – textiles, energy and agro Exporter to 35 countries globally Sapphire Group highlights: annual turnover of over US $850 million asset base of over US $750 million, and headcount of over 13,000 employees Actively involved in community welfare programs Sapphire Group Leading business group across a range of sectors – textiles, energy and agro Exporter to 35 countries globally Sapphire Group highlights: annual turnover of over US $850 million asset base of over US $750 million, and headcount of over 13,000 employees Actively involved in community welfare programs Bank Alfalah Limited Majority owned by Abu Dhabi Group Group has investments across the economy including in Financial Services, Telecoms, and Real Estate Sixth largest bank in the country in terms of total assets with a network of over 500 branches including 110 Islamic branches 8 overseas branches in Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Bahrain Total assets of over Rs. 500 Billion Bank Alfalah Limited Majority owned by Abu Dhabi Group Group has investments across the economy including in Financial Services, Telecoms, and Real Estate Sixth largest bank in the country in terms of total assets with a network of over 500 branches including 110 Islamic branches 8 overseas branches in Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Bahrain Total assets of over Rs. 500 Billion

3 Investment Thesis - Renewable Energy  Predictable cashflows and long life asset  Asset profile  Devaluation / inflation indexed returns  No working capital – ‘free’ natural resource (wind)  Guaranteed offtake of production / capacity  Technology competitive position – no long term exposure to commodity price inflation  Growth prospects  Re-rating of asset  (Re)investment for growth  Capital structuring options  Operational performance optimization  Stable regulatory environment  Global trend favouring Renewable Energy  Favourable government policies: Green energy; Indigenous resource; no pressure on countries import bill  Technology advancements increasing commercial attractiveness Investment in RE Industry (US$ Bn) Installed Wind Power Capacity (000MW)

4 Key Project Quality Drivers Wind speed (m/s) – reliable assessment at site over reasonably long horizon Wind quality – turbulence / wake effect / seasonality Wind Resource Equipment quality – reliable and consistent performance in local environmental conditions Conversion efficiency - equipment rate of converting wind to power Performance guarantees Power Conversion Grid availability – able to evacuate power efficiently often from remote locations Long term tariff – provide reasonable rate of return and indexing against macro variables (currency, interest rates etc.) Power Off take

5 Wind Projects – Key Risk Factors Production not directly correlated to GDP But timely payment linked to govt. finances Macro Risk Proven turbine technology in local / similar environment from dependable supplier Financially strong supplier – long term warranties and performance guarantees Technology Risk Reliable wind data – key input to developing a power curve Wind speeds can be volatile over short periods but relatively predictable over longer horizons Wind Risk Risk of delay and overruns Reliable and experienced EPC contractor with local market presence / commitment Well structured construction contracts – fixed price, milestones, penalties, performance bonds Construction Risk Reliable party for O&M with long term commitment and coverage Defined price contract over project life Operations & maintenance Maintain sufficient flexibility in coverage ratios Assess conservative scenarios and seasonality Leverage History of stable, well-established and tested regulatory environment Regulatory
